Think for example when Ralph Klein, who thought of himself as God's gift to Albertans, kept attempting to ...

Sagging in the polls and with several veterans headed for retirement, Alberta Liberals faced more grim news Monday when one of their most seasoned MLAs - Bridget Pastoor - jumped ship to the Tory government.
The surprise floor-crossing came just a few weeks after the two-term MLA for Leth-bridge-East was named party whip by new Liberal Leader Raj Sherman, who himself left the Tories last year.
